1. Preferred Brand: Anything, last choice Acer.
2. Budget: About 3.5k. Max 4k.
3. Usage: Gaming (Bioshock Inf, etc.), PS, AE, Il, movies and internet surfing.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14/15 inches. Lightweight with good battery life and cooling system. Touchscreen maybe but I'm getting wacom so if not, it's alright.

My last one was Vaio and it was really great and lasting but I'm aware Vaio is pretty expensive sweat.gif At first i thought of getting Mac Pro but don't know if good for gaming.

Thanks smile.gif

when we talk about cooling system, it is the best to get a thick laptop but it might be heavier. thinner ones look compact and easy to hold but thinness can trap lots of heat, which may result to uncomfortable usage after long hours (if no sufficient cooling was provided, might ended up hardware damage). and to advice, dont get touchscreen laptops, they are very useless and you might dont even use it after you purchased it.
for the screen, it is best if you could go for IPS screens or 90% NTSC gamut screens, since it is useful for your PS and Illustrator works. the laptops that have average screen colour quality to the best :

Thanks for the reply notworthy.gif

Lightweight is important to me, preferably around/< 2kg cause my Vaio is 2.7kg and it's really heavy to carry around sweat.gif Looks like my only option is Acer V7-582PG-74508G52k, it has great specs, FHD screen and lighter than the rest but I've bad experience with Acer before, it broke in <2 years so I don't know how reliable to go with it now unsure.gif

I thought can run Windows via BootCamp? Anyway gaming not my main concern, graphics work is but of course I want to be able to play games if I find something good to play laugh.gif Mac is over my budget I know but they've great customer service, less problems and durability although I'm not sure how stable to run Windows on it hmm.gif Still considering what to get rclxub.gif
